Update: The next unintentional mark making sculpture

After using the steel chimney as a relatively sized for interview and reflective experimental example of my idea, the next step is to make another on a larger scale that's visceral and aesthetic enough to hold a viewer to reflect on it.

Extracting marks from the sculpture

Inscribe pastel, A4 21 x 29.4cm
Just a reminder of the sculpture

I did three quick pen drawings of the marks as unfinished to match the unfinished essence of the metal itself

Scans of destructed sculpture

The sculpture pressed directly onto a scanner, a detailed and hazed look into marks made on and into it.



Going on now to do automatistic pen drawings and print directly onto paper.

The artistically unintentional sculpture


I went to a warehouse to find a brand part/piece of metal to put through a destructive process.



I picked this distinctive silver chimney part.



It had been hammered and flattened, the marks made turned out how i wanted, jagged and offset.

I will progress by drawing and making marks using the sculpture, drawings directly from the sculpture and using the sculpture as a piece by itself with work in its space.

Quick update: Artistically unintentional Sculpture and Marks

Im going to go to where my dad works to find and make sculptures by putting fresh pieces of raw metal/material through the destructive process of a scrapyard.

I will then use this battered raw material/s as sculptural peices and make work from on paper maybe printing or drawings with them.



Updates soon

Summary of idea and Non-artistic intentions?

I'm looking to record or generate marks made without artistic intention or an arguably non-artistic intention. Represented with the aesthetic of automatism.

----

Immediacy propositions and Mark making

In order to problematically solve my idea I must record or generate marks without any artistic intention and present them with an automatism aesthetic.

Some quick cheap ideas of where marks fall without artistic intention

>Blood spatter
>Footprints              
>Raindrops on a window          
>Creases on bed sheets  
>Bruises scars on the body

Its difficult considering mark making this broadly because its everywhere. Almost infinitely.

So what i'm looking for is maybe something that has a intention that is peculiarly related to an artistic intention in idea.

For example there are more specific intentions and more just pro life containers;

Specific: Blood spatters might have created with the intention to attack or to kill.
More general: Footprints made when walking to a goal.

Although intention to kill could also be distinct in a bigger goal. Its still a more magnified intention.
